In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.
Dear brother and sister,
Many articles have been written about the merit of Ramadan and the incessant rewards that Allah has bestowed on muslims and believers .Moreover , the happiness that they will experience if they follow the straight path or the teachings of islam.
One should be thankful to Allah for the fact that he has not taken our soul yet and for this valuable gift of the month of Ramdan . Therefore,We should benefit from this opportuity to compete with each other in doing righteousness.This may be the last one to given us to reconcile with Allah ,and to be filled with remorse for being neglectful towards each other and for our shortcoming in performing our religious duties .
If you do not shed tears now and go back to him , when shall we repent.We do not know if we live the next Ramadan or even we will be able to fast or do righteousness.We should overcome our defect to cure our hearts from sins and desires that hinder our movement and steps towards Allah and that cause us only failure and downfull . I wonder how many times aone has cried for committing sins and one has felt sorry for wasting good deeds such us praying in Masjid,devoting sometime to reading quran or learning it ,attending or listening to religious lectures, visting the patient, helping the needy , giving zakat , clothing the orphans feeding them, buying medicine to the poor or even school furniture, celebrating the remembrance of Allah ,preserving the tie of kinship , greeting our neighbours or giving them help , fasting , obeying parents , reconciling between people , borrowing money to our family or friends, doing umrah and performing pilgrimage, giving zakat , clothing the orphans feeding them, buying medicine to the poor, smiling with them, inviting
It is worthy to mention this hadith for those who are sinful and who seek Allah mercy.
God (mighty and sublime be He) said:
"O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it."
Don't Wait brother and sister .The Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said: "Undertake good works before seven things happen: distracting poverty, corrupting wealth, debilitating illness, befuddling senility, final death, the Antichrist - and evil is the invisible one who waits and watches - or the final hour, which is more calamitous and more painful."Indeed,
'The best of people is the one who is of most benefit to them'
(As-Silsilah As-Saheehah, 426) 'The likeness [i.e. in terms of rewards]
of the one who comes to [the aid of] a widow and [the aid of] a
destitute is like that of a mujaahid (striver) in the cause of Allaah
or that of someone who spends the night in prayers and the day in
fasting. (Al-Mishkaat, 4951)
